After materials are unloaded onto the tipping floor ECCO’s Traffic Directors and Sorters conduct an inspection of the load to remove off-spec materials and pre-sorting certain materials. Following inspection and pre-sort the materials are mechanically loaded onto the infeed conveyor and move through a series of conveyors, magnets, and ballistic separators for sorting and processing before reaching a staffed manual sort-line. The manual sort-line serves as a quality assurance and control checkpoint to remove contaminants, prior to the material reaching the baler for baling and shipment for recycling.
